It was yet another early car ride home from school for the third time this week. These fights Luz was getting. into were becoming more and more frequent, Ever since eveyone got trapped in the human realm and shes gone back to school she seems like a whoke different person, she used to be so bubbly but now she's a whole other person.
Luz and Camila are sat in silence except for the news playing over the radio. Luz is all bloody and bruised for her recent fight and Camila has a furious look on her face as she usually does when these things happen. Its the third time this weeks that shes has to apologise to her co workers for having to leave early to go get Luz fron school. It was really takng a toll on her.
Camila reaches her hand over to the radio and turns it down and she beings talking. "Whats going on with you? You've been getting in fights non-stop and your acting strange." She says her tone encompassing concern and anger. "Nothing mom, just drop it, fuck." I snap back, mumbling the last words so she doesnt hear it but she does. "I am your mother, you will not speak to me with such disrespect." Camila yells, anger filliing her voice. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE." Luz yells furiously, angry her mother is prying into her life. "Do not use that tone with me and you certainley dont yell at me." She says, trying to keep her composure. "and dont think i dont know about the cigarettes young lady." She angrily spits out.
'Fuck, how does she know about my cigarettes? I hid then so well.' i think to myself. "Honestly i dont know what i'd without Hunter looking out for you" She says, alot calmer now, a slight slither of anger still present in her voice.
'Really Hunter, what happened to being on my side, for fuck sake'
"Yeah i smoke, what about it. What the fuck cares." I mumble loudky enough for her to hear. "I care about you and so does Hunter and the rest of your friends. Drop what you got in the car while were here." Trying to regain calmness but failing miserably
I angrily rip my beanie of my head and i throw my cigarettes and lighter on the car floor. "Thank you" She says, now calm.
We then arrive hone and i get out of the car. slamming the car door behind me, pissed that she now knows that i smoke. She picks up the cigarettes and lighter and gets out of the car, and starts walking towards tha house. I open the door and i see Hunter sat on the stairs. "h-hey Luz" He stutters. clearly nervous that i now know it was him who snitched on me for smoking. 'Really cant trust anyone can i?' I think to myself. "Leave me alone Hunter." I say bluntly "Why'd you tell her i was smoking. I trusted you. Guess i cant do that anymore." I say frustrated. "Im sorry but youve been acting like a complete dick towards other people, me and everyone else are really worried about you. I had no choice but to tell your mom that your smoking." He replies. " I DONT WANT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE TO WORRY ABOUT ME" i yell angry and frustrated. I storm past him and i lock myself in ny room.
Camila walks into the house and she sees Hunter who looks very upset and like he's about to burst into tears. "I lost her trust. What have i done?" Hunter says, his voice shaking. "Youbdid the right thing telling me about this Hunter. Dont worry its not your fault" Camika says reassuringly. "Yeah, your right." Hunter says quietly.
Tine skip to 8pm
I pull my dresser out ever so slightly and i reach for the spare pack of cigarettes and lighter that i keep stashed away incase something like this ever happened and i open my window and i clamber onto the roof and i put in my earphones and i smoke and watch the sunset. Smoking away all my troubles.
